The chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York has extended the court’s suspension of jury trials through Feb. 12 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new order published Tuesday.

Chief Judge Colleen McMahon said that in-person operations at the Manhattan federal court would remain halted due to the “recent spike in coronavirus cases, both nationally and within the Southern District of New York, and other medical developments.”
